Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Qin Kui's mind froze for a moment after watching this scene. Then his eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait... what did they just call themselves? 'Disciples'?? Is this... the opposite of the truth??"

Didn't they say these Taoists were seducing the current emperor for their own glory and wealth? It seems... it's more like this teenage emperor has established a sect here! The disciples of this so-called "sect," one or two at a time, are not simple! Everyone in the public must respectfully address them as "Daoist Master."

Qin Kui patted his ears, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

However, he quickly dismissed his thoughts: "Even if my ears were wrong, my eyes couldn't be wrong! Not only do they call themselves 'disciples', but even the way they greet His Majesty... is it the disciple's etiquette!?"

Qin Kui quickly confirmed that he was not wrong.

But the impact of the scene in front of him was a bit too great, and he felt a little dizzy the whole time: Is it appropriate for a group of Taoist celebrities, each of whom holds a very important position in Taoism, to pay their respects as disciples to a teenager?

Qin Kui felt as if his inherent cognition and world views had fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Of course, in such an important place as the Alchemy Bureau, he didn't dare to act rashly or say or ask too much. He could only forcibly suppress the shock and confusion in his heart, standing behind Zhu Yunhuan, observing this so-called Alchemy Bureau calmly.

There is no so-called alchemy furnace or anything like that inside.

There were only many large porcelain jars filled with "water", some white cubes cut into the same size and placed neatly, various powders... and so on.

And soon.

Qin Kui saw something familiar.

The fine brown powder - His Majesty had sent it to him before, saying it was used as an adhesive for refractory bricks - without it, the refractory bricks would be extremely ineffective, and it could be said to be indispensable.

"So... this thing was made by the Alchemy Department!? Or... this isn't the Alchemy Department at all! Your Majesty is spending so much energy watching over these people and supporting them, but he has other purposes!"

Qin Kui had a good brain. After the huge shock and astonishment, he of course realized what was going on. It was impossible for him to continue to blindly believe that this place was engaged in some kind of alchemy that was a waste of money and time.

He couldn't help but look up and secretly glanced at the back of the young emperor in front of him.

He took a deep breath and sighed, "Your Majesty is so well hidden! The ingenious Industrial Division has so many wonderful uses, and the seemingly expensive Alchemy Division... turns out to have a whole other world!"

While thinking.

Zhang Yuqing, Ma Rui, Yuan Gong, Liu Yuan, and many other prestigious Taoist masters and alchemy masters also greeted them enthusiastically. "Your Majesty, are you here to inspect the production progress of soap and sodium lignin sulfonate? Or are you here to teach us? We have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the truths of the world. There are many more areas where we only need Your Majesty to clarify our doubts!"

Zhu Yunhuan said casually, "I've already used the soap you sent me. Sodium lignin sulfonate is also very effective. As long as you follow the fixed process and steps, there will be no problems. You have always been reliable in your work, and I am relieved."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuqing, Ma Rui, and the others exchanged excited and delighted glances, then all bowed to Zhu Yunhuan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the praise! We are but laborers. Without Your Majesty's guidance and careful instruction, we would not have been able to accomplish anything."

Qin Kui, who was standing behind Zhu Yunhuan, was even more stupid...

For the first time, he realized that the adhesive he used was called something like wood...sodium acid.

The most outrageous thing is that, according to the implication of these Taoist celebrities and alchemy masters, this thing was not invented by them, but was taught... by the Majesty in front of them.

Upon learning that His Majesty wasn't here to inspect the production progress of some gadget, the group grew increasingly excited. Zhang Yuqing, the candidate for the next headmaster of the Zhengyi Sect, who was standing on the far left, looked at Zhu Yunhuan with shining eyes and said, "Since Your Majesty isn't here to inspect the production progress...is He here to give a lecture?"

His words seemed to express everyone's thoughts. Without exception, everyone stared at Zhu Yunhuan with expectant and longing eyes.

This scene was what Qin Kui saw.

It's weird no matter how you look at it.

No? You, all of you highly respected and renowned "Taoist priests," are fawning over a teenager and begging him to teach you?

Even if you want to improve, you don't have to go to this extent, right? Rubbing your face on the ground?

But he looked at it carefully for a long time.

This group of people seem to be serious!

Zhu Yunhuan didn't pay any attention to Qin Kui behind him. He paused and nodded: "Teaching... you can say that."

How can explaining the operating process and principles of the converter steelmaking process to them not be considered a class?

Seeing that Zhu Yunhuan agreed to this matter.

Everyone, including Zhang Yuqing, Ma Rui, Liu Yuanran, Yuan Gong, and the others, suddenly had their eyes shining brightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance!!"

"Let's go in first." Zhu Yunhuan was obviously used to this and walked straight into the inner room of the Alchemy Department. Everyone followed him excitedly. Qin Kui's CPU had been burned out by now, so he could only follow in with a confused look on his face.

The furnishings inside the room are different from those in an ordinary house.

It is a large, empty room with many neatly arranged tables and chairs for people to sit on. At the front is a podium and a blackboard. At first glance, it really looks like a school.

But what was written on the blackboard was something he couldn't understand at all.
